DIR. Farquharson Is quoted as say
ing that 80 long as brain worker is
able to sleep well, to eat well, and to
take fair proportion Of outdoor exer-
cises, it may safely be said that it is not
necessary to impose any special limits
on the actual number of hours which he
devotes to his labors." 1t is only when
worry, or family troubles, or annoying
business perplexities step in to compli-
cate matters that there is aldanger Of

PRECIOUS METALS.
How the United States is Benefited by Ite

How the United States is Benefited by Ite
Gold and Silver Product.
The gold and silver product of this
country last year was $86, O00,O 600, OF
which $35, 900. 900 was in gold and $751;.
600, 900 in silver This is a larger total
than was ever before produced in one
year, though gold production alone was
largest in 1853, when it amounted to
$65, ,OO0,0 This was in the height OF
the California gold excitement. Col
orado with 500, ,0O0, 900 worth Of precious
metals per year, and Montana with
81. 1000, 900, both lead California, whose
product last year was SIG, 200, 900. These
enormous yearly outputs of the precious
metals enable this country to endure a
balance of trade against us without in
jury. In other words, we buy what we
consider more useful than gold, and
thus equalize the worlds supply of the
precious metals. tits only thus that these
mines could continue to be profitable
to us. Spain some centuries ago tried
to hold monopoly Of the precious
metals, WHICH WcIC llNiuiy uliHCu Al
hor American colonies. The result was
the Spaniard became lazy and good for
nothing; his country grew to be the
/ dearest land to live in under the sun.
With plenty of money and nothing
else, there was no encouragement to
work. It was cheaper to buy any
thing than it was to produce it. Spain
suffered from glut Of gold and silver
by precisely the same causes which this
country suffered from during our era
of deprecated paper currency after the
war. Diffusing these large gold and
silver products through the civilized
world, they must produce increased
prosperity everywhere. Our advantage
| in producing, then. will be mainly that
this fact gives us the first handling Of
the money, and with nations as with
men those who have plenty of money
can do the most successful trading

Ten Years Growth Of london.

London Cor. Chicago Tribune.
Ten years is a remarkably long
stretch of time, and London revisited
after such a period shows many chang
es. The endless growth Of tine city is,
OF course, the everlasting marvel.
That there mast be a time when it's in.
crease in area and population will
cease isnodoubt certain, but there are
yet to many generations of human
kind come and 90 before this wonder
of municipalities begins to retrograde.
A century ago, when its dwelIers num-
bered something yer half a million,
it was thought to be intolerably large
| and crowded. and to have Eha
limit GIFTS probable growth. To-day.
with quite ten times that number Of
souls, there are few observers bold
enough to hazard q prophecy as to
when this gigantic gathering of hu-
mainly may begfn to lessen. London

elapsed since / last saw it has added TO
It's population as many people as there

longings than In New York, PhiladeE

in her SOC, 900 piastres and 10000
ounces OF gold on account OF the king
and twice that sum on the merchants
account, making her a very rich ship.
She foundered, and no man escaped
to tell how or when.

Our County Seat.

We see by the proceedings of the
Legislature that two bills have been
introduced -one in the Assembly by
Mr. Lyons, and the other in the Sem
ate by Mr.. Briggs-to change the
county seat of White Pine from Ham.
ilton to Ely. Mr.. Briggs has also in
troduced bill authorizing the White
Pine Commissioners to construct a
Court House, and providing for the
payment therefor" We have not seen
either of these bills, but we expect to
receive copies when they are printed.
OF the necessity of permanently To-
eating our county seat there can be no
question, and that Ely is the most
central point in the county for that
purpose Is equally undeniable. The
county lease on the present quarters in
Hamilton will expire in April next,
and it Is doubtful if can be renewed
on the present favorable terms. Even
if 1t can, it is poor policy for the
county to longer continue to rent. We
have ne word of blame for the people
of Hamilton, who wish to retain the
county seat-indesd it's removal would
be great hardship ON some of its
people--toward whom we entertain
the most friendly feeling. But "the
greatest good to the greatest lumber"
il the basis on which rest all our laws
and customs. Four fifths of popula-
ton and taxable property of the coun-
ty are east of the Egan range, and
with eur seat of justice at Ely, the
people of Hamilton and White River
would then be nearer the capital town
than those of 0sceola, Spring and
Snake Valleys. 4 glance at the map
of our county ought to be sufficient to
convince the members of the Legisla-
ture of the claims Of Ely, as being
the most central point in the county.
1t has also great natural advantages
in it's favor-a fine stream of running
water, an abundance of timber in the
surrounding mountains and good
roads leading in all directions, all of
which, except that to Hamilton, are
open to travel in the severest winters.
These are few of the good reasons,
which cannot honestly be controvert-
ed, why the Legislature should grant
the just demand of the great majority
of the taxpayers of this county in To-
eating their county seat at the most
central and desirable point.
Pending action on the bills now be-
fore the Legislature on this subject, We
will be pleased to publish the views
of any of our citizens, whether for or
against the proposed change. II its
opponents can give any good reasons
"for the faith that is in tLem," the
News will give them to the public.

LETTER FROM CHERRY CREEK

Tine Exchequer Csmpany's Good Luck
-wsarne d Fitzpatrick Discovery
On the Upper Belt-The Old Camp
Reviving from the Cruel Blows OF It's
Enemies.
CHERRY CREEK, Jan. 10. 1887.
EDITOR WHITE PINE News: We
know you have wept with those who
who weep, and believe you will re-
joice with those who rejoice. Our old
friend, Moses Scramlin, having from
long experience unlimited faith in this
camp, as ysu are aware has returned
and for several months has been run
ming the Exchequer mill for Msssrs.
Murdoch & Chahoon. Well, although
the ore worked placed the balance on
the right side of the ledger, Nose was
not satisfied with the result, the mine
foreman was sent to the place from
whence he came, and Nose went to
the mine and in a few days uncovered
fine bodies of ore, which eliminated
in making a grand discovery Oh Sat-
urday last Nose says, and be 10 con-
frmed by the miners, that there is
years run in sight, and best Of all, the
ore is very high grade. The original
workers mistook seam in the ledge
for the hanging wall; the result is
present and future benefit. The mill
starts up ON the 18th, with 200 tons
of ore on the dump.
Mr.. James Bews has now taken
charge of the mine and Nose goes
back to run the mill. Messrs. Muir
dock & Chahoon and Mr.. Scramlin,
(who also is a share-owner), deserve
success as they took hold in the dark
est days of the camp. John Wearn-
has the ore-hauling and wood con-
tracts.
Another important discovery was
made last Fall by John Wesrne and
George Fitzpatrick. Keeping their
business eyes open, they located the
Battle and Wanderer mines on the
upper belt. In doing assessment work
on the Wanderer, now named Bun
inyong, q bsdy of ore was discovered
and shaft sunk twenty feet on the
foot wall, six feet wide, and all in ore.
with no signs of ''petering." At an
other point of the ledge, some 400
feet farther north, tunnel crosses the
ledge. showing over 10 feet of ore
toward the hanging wall. They are
now sinking on this, and it 10 indeed
a big thing. They have carload of
ere waiting shipment to Reno as a
test sample. Assays of this ore are
most satisfactory.
1t looks as if old Cherry will boom
again without the aid of the Star
manipulators. May it be so. &C.
